my son is the king

Chapter 126 The Mysterious Old Man
"Teacher, are you saying that Ling'er's identity is not simple?" Xia Chen calmed down and asked doubtfully.

"Do you know the origin of Zhou Qingling?" AMTD asked.

Shaking her head, Xia Chen thought about it and said, "I only remember that she has been at our house since I was a child. As for her parents and family, it seems that she has never heard of it."

"Your childhood sweetheart is very unusual. If you want to be with her in the future, you still have a long way to go," AMTD said with a smile.

"No matter how difficult the road is, with the teacher here, I also believe that through my hard work, I will be able to succeed," Xia Chen said firmly.

Tang Feihu, who was on the side, saw that Xia Chen seemed to be ignoring him, so he said harshly, "You waste, wait for me."

He didn't dare to get too close to Xia Chen, for fear that the other party would go crazy and attack him again.

"Okay, don't waste time with this kind of brainless trick," said AMTD.

Xia Chen nodded, glared at Tang Feihu, and walked slowly into the pharmacy.

The decoration inside the pharmacy is very simple, with a hall and an inner room.

At the entrance of the hall, there is a very tall medicine cabinet. The medicine cabinet is orange and has hundreds of drawers.

There was a strong smell of herbs in the air.

Directly in front of her, a little girl was lying on top of the medicine cabinet, calculating something with a notebook in her hand.

The little girl wore two braids and looked a little green. She was fifteen or sixteen years old, and when she smiled, there was a dimple on the right side of her face.

Especially those eyes, which are watery, look very charming.

"Xiao Xin, is Grandpa Yue there?" Xia Chen looked very familiar and asked the girl looking at the medicine cabinet.

Yue Xin raised his head, saw Xia Chen, smiled, and said, "Brother Chen, grandpa is making alchemy inside, what kind of elixir do you want this time?"

"I want to buy some Huiqi Pill, Beast Blood Pill, and Jinchuangsan for external application," Xia Chen said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the small door of the inner room open, and an elderly man with gray hair came out.

The old man's face was sallow, and he coughed a few times from time to time, as if he was seriously ill.

He held a pill bottle in his hand, which contained seven round and smooth pills of equal size.

Danxiang wafted throughout the medicine shop, smelling very fragrant.

"Little boy, you're here," the old man looked at Xia Chen and smiled kindly.

"Grandpa Yue, your illness seems to be getting worse?" Xia Chen asked with a frown.

"It doesn't matter," the old man smiled and waved his hands, "I'm old, anyway, people who have half a foot in the loess will not die in a while."

"What did Tang Feihu come to you for just now?" Xia Chen asked curiously.

Yuexin on the side snorted coldly, and while arranging the pills for Xia Chen, he said unhappily: "That guy wants our pharmacy to be integrated with their Golden Elixir Workshop, but we disagree.

Because the shop we rented belongs to the Tang family, he deliberately increased the rent for you.

Originally, these pharmacies in the city were under the suppression of their Jindanfang, and their business was very bleak. Now he has increased the rent of the shop, how can we afford it. "

Xia Chen was a little silent. He knew that these small shops could not compete with Jindan Fang in any aspect.

It is in the most prosperous geographical location, and there are a large number of alchemists in it, and there are even several second-level alchemists.

On the other hand, these small pharmacies are not well-known, and the alchemists inside are all first-level and half-baked, so the business is naturally tepid.

That is to say, the price of the same elixir is much cheaper than Jindanfang, so others will come to buy it.

"If you can't do it, you can move out and find a new shop. It's not their Tang family who has the final say on such a big Baimang City," Xia Chen said.

The price of Huiqi Pill and Beast Blood Pill is one spirit crystal, while Jinchuangsan is cheaper, and five packs of Jinchuangsan only cost one spirit crystal.

Spirit crystals are the common currency in the mainland of China. Xia Chen is not rich, and he only has a hundred spirit crystals all over his body.

These spiritual crystals were saved by him since he was a child. In the Xia family, although he would distribute pills and spiritual crystals to the family's children every month.

But these cultivation resources are given to monks, and people like Xia Chen who can't cultivate can't get any resources at all.

In the first few years, the family would give him a small amount of spiritual crystals, but later because Xia Chen still hadn't made any progress and couldn't advance to the Qi training stage, he simply gave up.

Then Xia Chen chatted with the old man for a while, then packed up the pill and left.

…………

"This old man is not simple," AMTD said after leaving the pharmacy.

"Teacher, do you mean Grandpa Yue?" Xia Chen was taken aback for a moment. In his impression, Grandpa Yue was just an ordinary first-class alchemist suffering from illness.

"It's not a disease, but a serious injury," said AMTD, "and if I'm not mistaken, he should be a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"National Infant Realm?" Xia Chen glanced at the Anxin Pharmacy behind him in surprise. He didn't expect this ordinary old man to be in the Nascent Soul Realm.

You must know that in the entire Baimang City, the strongest is the city lord, Gong Sun Hong, who seems to be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

"Then what realm are you, teacher?" Xia Chen asked curiously.

"This is not something you can touch now," AMTD said proudly: "You just need to know that I can kill dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators with a single sneeze."

…………

The Sunset Mountains are located in the north of the Longyuan Empire, which is known as a paradise for monsters.

The outskirts of the mountains are covered by dense jungles, and the lush trees block the scorching sun outside, while the inside is quiet and cool.

Xia Chen walked on the forest path with a long sword on his back. He remembered that he had met his teacher in this forest before.

I have also started a new life, and I can't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Looking at the endless mountains, Xia Chen heard that there are powerful monsters in the center of the mountains, even if the emperor of the Longyuan Empire came, he might not dare to go deep into them.

The region where Baimang City is located is called the Yannan Region. It is said that as long as you cross the Sunset Mountains, you can reach other regions.

Xia Chen has grown up so much, he has only been to a few cities near Baimang City, and he is extremely envious of the outside world.

I don't know how wonderful and brilliant it is.

I heard that the continent where they are located is vast and boundless, and the Yannan Region is just a corner of it.

Walking in the secluded jungle, Xia Chen seemed extra cautious.

He knew that there were dangers everywhere in this jungle, and if he was a little careless, he might die here.

Xia Chen held the Baisteel sword in his hand, and just after he walked through a bush, he saw an afterimage on the branch next to him sneaking towards him.
